Marriage is the glue that holds together the family. Let me share with you the touching story, like Jan Northington learned the secret of a successful marriage. It was a rough night. She and her husband had had a terrible argument. Well, even though hours later and the next morning, Jan still felt the sting of her words.
This morning, Jan's husband tries to restart things. "I'm ready when you move. I love you." The wordsmeant nothing to January, you did not feel awesome. They were just words, they do.
Just then, shouts came from the nursery. "He took my Legos. He did not even know saying," Please. "Daniel wanted to keep his brother from playing with his new toy."
Jan went to the entrance to the room of the children and said: "Daniel, you can not let Philip play with them for a while?"
"I do not want to share. I do not want him to play with them."
January her little boy sitting on his bed,reminded him of the story, she was reading last night and the question she had asked: "What would Jesus do?" She told Daniel that Jesus intends that we forgive and give, even if we do not feel like it. Her words stung her own heart. They did the same with her husband Daniel did with Philip. Jan and Daniel said that sometimes it is hard to forgive and together with the "big" things in our lives, but also that Jesus will help us to change our hearts. "What would Jesus do,Daniel? "
Without hesitation, Daniel said: "He would forgive Philip and play it with Legos. Probably he would even play with him." Philip Daniel looked up and said: "Philip, you can my Legos tomorrow." Daniel got up and looked at his mother, "I will be back. I have to go ask Jesus to change my heart for today."
Jan was extremely touched by her little boy. She knelt beside his bed and tearfully prayed to Jesus to change her heart to her husband ... today. ThePeace of God came upon them, like forgiveness and love for her husband and herself came into her heart.
Daniel came back into the room and said: "Philip, you can use my Legos all day if you want." There was a change in Daniel. Was it the children, the neighbor came over to play or it was touch from God? January hoping that their little boy had the same kind of conversation with the Lord, as she was.
Jan and her husband's eyes met. He said: "It's a good thing I have to go toWork today. It looks like you have your hands busy with all these children. All you need is another "child" around the house. "A connection was achieved. Understanding, love and forgiveness flowed between husband and wife. Jan looked at her husband and said:" I love you and I am ready to move on to. "
Marriage is the glue that Jesus Christ that unites the family. When the glue is strong then the family is large. When the glue is weak, then there isthe pain, sorrow, and often divorce. Allow the glue to bind Jesus Christ, your marriage and family together.
